{{about|Funky Kong's vehicle from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''|the vehicle from ''Diddy Kong Racing'' and ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''|[[Hovercraft]]}}
The '''Hover Craft''', also spelled '''hovercraft'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' instruction booklet, page 21.</ref> or '''Hovercraft''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide, page 16.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51, page 20.</ref> is one of four vehicles that [[Funky Kong]] leases to [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' The Hover Craft appears to be made from a barrel, and it has a large, black floating tube on the bottom. It is an upgrade over the [[Motor Boat]] because it moves on the water faster and can travel over rocks. The Hover Craft has a stronger upgrade, [[Turbo Ski]], which can travel up waterfalls.


The '''Hover Craft''' is one of four vehicles that [[Funky Kong]] leases during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It is a step up from the [[Motor Boat]], in that it's slightly faster, and more importantly, can drive over rocks in the water.  
Initially, Funky cannot construct the Hover Craft because of a hole in its tube. If the [[Kong]]s retrieve the [[patch (item)|patch]] for Funky, he can patch the hole and complete the Hover Craft for them to use. The Hover Craft is used to reach the worlds [[Cotton Top Cove]] and [[Mekanos]], the [[Brothers Bear]] location [[Bramble's Bungalow]], and the [[secret cave]], "Kong Cave".


Funky Kong is unable to build the Hover Craft due to a hole in one of the parts. If [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] manage to defeat [[Arich]] in [[Kremwood Forest]], the spider will drop a [[Patch]]. By taking this Patch to Funky, he will be able to fix up the Hover Craft and allow the [[Kong]]s to use it for their journey, mainly enabling them to reach [[Cotton-Top Cove]] and [[Mekanos]].
In the true ending of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', there is a brief scene where [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] uses the Hover Craft to try and escape from the [[Banana Queen]], who drops an eggshell on him.


Once the Kongs recover the [[Ski (DKC3)|Ski]]s from the bosses of Cotton-Top Cove and Mekanos, Funky will use them to build the [[Turbo Ski]], which can travel up waterfalls, and will serve as the Hover Craft's replacement from thereon out.
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Dixie and Kiddy use the Hover Craft during the "Protect" mission of the [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|Funky's Rentals]] minigame.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', the Hover Craft is also used in Funky's [[Protect]] [[mini-game]], where Dixie or Kiddy must prevent [[Kremling]]s from kidnapping members of the Kong family in the middle of a lake.
Artwork of Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong in the Hover Craft appears on a [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
